Well that won't be happening.  Zelensky should know better than to suggest such a thing, considering the politics inside the U.S. right now.

I would not rule it out. President Trump is unpredictable and if he thinks putting US troops into Ukraine as peacekeepers will end the war then that's what he will do. Especially if Russia/Putin object to the idea and make a bunch of threats about it.

I "get" that Zelensky would not trust a country that has invaded his twice in the past 10 years, and has a history of brutality against Ukrainians that stretches back to the conquest by Catherine the Great. But US troops is a NO! for me.

I agree with you.

IMHO, there are 2 ways to ensure pootin won't invade 3 or 4 years from now. First, Ukraine's membership in NATO or second, U.S. peacekeepers stationed in Ukraine.

Perhaps there is a 3rd way to keep pootin from invading again...Ukraine develops their own nuclear arsenal.

When analyzing anything President Trump says, think "Art of the Deal."

Putin's army sends unarmed 'camel' soldiers into battle as death toll in Ukraine rises

New drone footage captured by the Ukrainian military shows a "camel" soldier running through a bombed-out building moments before he was shot by a sniper.

Alex Shipman  |  18:08 ET, Tue, Jan 21, 2025  |  UPDATED: 01:51 ET, Wed, Jan 22, 2025

Russian soldiers equipped with mines are being sent unarmed into the line of Ukrainian sniper fire - a tactic that is causing a huge number of casualties, officials in Kyiv say.

Video released by Ukraine's military shows one of the troops - known as a "camel" - being stalked by a drone as he maneuvers through a bombed-out farm near the industrial city of Toretsk, Donetsk Oblast.

It is one of a number of disturbing strategies being used by Vladimir Putin's military as intelligence suggests Russia suffered a record 434,000 casualties in 2024.  .  .

Russian ‘Crutch Battalions’ Full Of Limping Soldiers Are Easy Targets For Ukrainian Drones

‘What the f—?’ a Russian soldier mutters as his wounded comrades are ordered to limp into battle on crutches.

David Axe  |  Jan 21, 2025  |  06:45pm EST

Despite losing more than 800,000 troops killed and wounded in the first three years of its wider war on Ukraine, the Russian military has still managed to sustain a front-line force of no fewer than 600,000 troops in Ukraine and western Russia. That’s enough people to give Russian field armies a manpower edge over Ukrainian forces in all of the most important sectors of the wider war.

But that doesn’t mean the Kremlin isn’t struggling to generate fresh troops. At least one desperate Russian command, the 20th Combined Arms Army, has formed assault groups made up of walking wounded—including injured men walking with the aid of crutches—and sent them into battle with predictably tragic results.

There were rumors several months ago that some Russian commanders were ordering wounded men back into action. Perhaps the first clear evidence of the “crutch battalions” appeared on social media last week. A Ukrainian drone spotted a Russian assault group largely made up of men on crutches limping into position to attack Ukrainian positions around Pokrovsk  .  .  .

The inaction of the US prior to the last two world wars resulted in US involvement in those wars.

Preventing the Russian wars of conquest in Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia from spreading will prevent direct conflict.

But of course if the Russians are bent on war against the US then it would be handy to have bases in Ukraine.

Disabusing the Russians of their imperial ambitions is a national interest for the US especially given their stated intentions to seize Alaska.

This fall I have a son going into the USMC and I can assure you that I do not want to see him fight Russia. I'd rather the war be prevented and we can't prevent WW3 by sticking our heads up our asses and claiming it's none of our business. That didn't work in the last two world wars and it won't work in the next one.
